What the job entails
The General Manager will lead the setup, launch, and day-to-day operations of a member-focused lifestyle destination in Japan. This person will oversee all pre-opening preparations, including staffing, training, SOP development, trial runs, and operational readiness, while ensuring a smooth transition from planning into full execution. The role requires close coordination with internal stakeholders, including program, culinary, finance, marketing, PR, and technical teams, as well as external partners.
A key part of the role is to serve as the on-site standard bearer for service, guest experience, and brand consistency. The General Manager will own P&L performance, support revenue growth through sales, events, and community initiatives, and maintain strong compliance with health, safety, and regulatory standards. [Suggestion: prior experience in a lifestyle, hospitality, or wellness-led environment will be especially valuable.] The role also involves fostering collaboration across locations and sharing best practices to support long-term brand synergy.
